  • Stuart. Check my recent post about hats and military stuff.
  • Stuart, I don't remember the patch, so it probably wasn't me. Although I do have some fond memories of my time at Sanford. Frank

  • Stuart,  welcome aboard. 

  • Stu,

    Yeah, she was the heaviest bird to ever fly off the carrier. 3 man crew, 4th seat optional. I flew once in a while. I was an AT2 worked the shop first Med cruise and flight deck on the second.

    I guess you saw the A3 in my photos of the rollout at Castle.

    Well, as we Niners used to say, Hoot Hoot. Take care.

  • Stu,

    Is that the photo you were referring to? The rollout pictures in my album were taken at Castle Museum in Atwater, CA 2013. I was there for the ceremony.

  • Hi Stu,

    The picture of me next to the A3 was taken in 1957, aboard the Saratoga. We were on operation Strikeback, above the Arctic Circle.

  • Have a Happy And Merry Christmas.
  • Yes Stu, I was in VAH 7 from '60 to '63. I was an AT and worked the line mostly instead of in the shop. I'm sure we met some times. Frank Riley  I now live in the upstate of South Carolina  on lake Keowee near Clemson

  • Hi Stu, 

    My dad was in the Vigi community while I was growing up, but unfortunately they were retired by the time I enlisted.  I have great memories of being a kid in Sanford and Albany.

  • Hello Stuart,

    I was at Sanford from July 5, 1957 to June 27, 1960.

"Chris I came across your photo on b/u 149282 in 1963. We lost two great guys in Feb that year wit a round down strike on night ops. Lt. Cruise and Ltjr . Cottle. Your picture brought back a lot of memories. Best regards, Stu Carlin"

"Franklin,
On of the AT's from your shop in '62 or '63 gave me a patch with a Vigi dumping a nuke. It had a blue background with the gray and white aircraft. Any memories?
Hope all is well,
Stu Carlin"
